15ouncesRotel diced tomatoes with green chiliesdrained
1 ½cupscheddar cheesegrated
Instructions
Mix the Jiffy corn muffin mix with the eggs and milk in a large mixing bowl then stir in the creamed corn and sweet corn.
Next, place half of the corn mixture in a greased 9×13 baking dish.
Place the ground beef in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and brown it.
Add 1 packet of taco seasoning (plus any water indicated on the package), and simmer until the meat is thoroughly cooked.
Mix in the Rotel tomatoes, then transfer the ground beef mixture to a baking dish. Top the ground beef with half the cheddar cheese then sprinkle the remaining corn mixture on top.
Now, spread the remaining cheddar cheese on top of your casserole then bake it for about 35-40 minutes at 350 degrees F.
Take the casserole out of the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes to set before cutting and serving.
Top it with your favorite taco toppings if you like.
Notes
Be careful not to overcook: Cornbread will not always brown on top when it is done cooking. Too long in the oven can result in a dry, crumbly mess. Don’t forget to check it once it looks like it’s getting close to being finished.
The following toppings are suggested: shredded lettuce, sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo, tomatoes, green onions, sliced black olives, taco sauce.
